The US Small Business Administration (SBA) has issued a letter to agency Requisition Officers announcing the opportunity to submit rider orders for the Financing Your Small Business Exports, Foreign Investments or Projects. We are distributing this information by Circular Letter to help ensure that agencies receive this information in a timely manner.

This four page fact sheet provides a brief overview of the Federal Government’s loan, insurance, and grant programs for small businesses interested in exporting. The information is provided in an easy-to-use format, with clear direction on where to find additional information on agency web sites. In addition, the fact sheet includes one page of basic information on why small businesses should consider exporting, the Federal Government programs that support exporting, and information about the export.gov web site and the Trade Information Center. The fact sheet is branded with the National Export Initiative graphics.

The estimated rider rate is $.05 per copy. Please note that this rider rate applies to single destination, local delivery. Mailing charges, if incurred, will be added to your account.

Please be sure to include GPO jacket No. 361-533 and SBA Requisition Number 0-00035 on your requisitions.
